According to Android Police, the HTC Nexus tablet will come with an optional smart cover accessory, one that protects the tab on the rare occasions its owner isn't listlessly prodding it and folds down into a slimline keyboard for those times when something more than 140 characters needs bashing out.

As well as the keyboard attachment, Android Police also has images of a standard case for the tablet -- pics that suggest the HTC Nexus will arrive with a 4:3 aspect ratio display. [Android Police]
